Very cool that the official gameplay trailer doesn’t contain gameplay.
Make choices in a philosophical story that’s driven by science.
I would love to play a story where some scientist is thrust back 8000 or more years back in time and has to guide past humans while finding out the scientist is immortal.
“Yeah, so I’m actually a uh data scientist. I’m gonna be honest I’ve got no idea how to farm or help you guys at all”
Really enjoyed the demo of this on Steam Next Fest, will take a look at the full thing
Wtf is “atompunk” and why does every single sci fi genre have to be called somethingpunk now? Cyberpunk had a reason to be called that, I really don’t see the reasoning behind every other somethingpunk moniker.
Atompunk is the dark version of 50’s era astro-futurism, like in the Fallout games.
The “punk” moniker suffixed onto genres generally implies tones and/or themes one would associate with the punk movement, e.g. anger at a corrupt system, anti-authoritarianism, anarchist ideals, etc.
I’ll agree the usage is oversaturated, though, and is sometimes only used to convey “dystopian”
Atompunk is like a specific esthetic. Imagine cold war era, but with the what they thought looked futuristic made real. Think themes around nuclear annihilation, global espionage, alternate-history and retrofuturism.
If you know the Fallout videogames, like that.
I almost 2 hours into it, and it’s really good so far. Quite similar to Firewatch in all the good ways.
